Nagios Support Forum

We have not been able to create new users to logon to the Tactical Overview screens, so that our acknowledgements are personalized to the individual team members.

We are trying to use douggrant for tactical overview / acknowledgements.

The terminal command we have used to create the user is
htpasswd -n douggrant
New password: <<new password goes here>>

The user douggrant works perfectly in the CCM screens.
Here is our cgi.cfg

From the command documentation:

-n Don't update file; display results on stdout.

Try:

This command worked, thank you!

htpasswd /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users douggrant

Is this resolved/all right to close?

Yes, this issue is resolved!
